    About us

    Software Motor Company (SMC) is the world-leading provider of ultra-high-efficiency motors that feature a patented, software commutated, high rotor pole switched reluctance motor system. The company was founded in Silicon Valley to bring the benefits of the Internet of Things secure wireless networking and big data to electric motors, which collectively consume over 45 percent of global electricity. SMC motors are easy-to-install and integrate with new and legacy HVAC, refrigeration, and pumping systems, and deliver energy savings that are 20 to 50 percent higher than existing NEMA Premium Efficiency solutions.

    The LED of Motors

    Our calling is to serve our customers with exceptional products and services. Our industry-leading motor efficiency combined with our state of the art dynamic building controls eliminates nearly half of building energy wasted by conventional systems.

    Our dynamic monitoring of the motors and predictive maintenance capabilities for HVAC systems translate to optimal motor lifecycle utilization, minimized HVAC maintenance costs and downtime, and exceptional building operational conditions.

    CULTURE AT SOFTWARE MOTOR

    We are building a culture of smart, empowered people who are disrupting the $100 billion-plus market of electric motors that consume over 45 percent of global electricity. SMC makes the world’s most reliable, efficient, and intelligent motor. Our switched reluctance motor is up to 50% more efficient than the current industry standards.

    OUR PURPOSE

    We believe in a future where any system that consumes power is optimized to its potential. We exist to develop and commercialize a new generation of high performance and low cost electric motor technology.
